Internet Backgammon

 
 
 
 

This is a two-player Backgammon game, that is, it has no human-against-computer mode. The two players can be sharing one computer's keyboard, mouse and monitor, or can be using two computers networked together over the Internet or any network with TCP/IP. No separate server is required - the game is independent.
The game includes a help file suitable for players new to Backgammon and experienced players.

I have included sound effects with the game. Of course, you will need a sound card and speakers for this feature to work on your system.
